1 Ignition Module problem of the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado

Failure Date: 03/12/2015

After sitting for two days, I went out to start my 2015 Chevrolet Silverado to drive to town and it was dead - no power, lights, horn, ignition, nothing. The vehicle was absolutely stone cold dead. Having two decades in the car restoration business, I grabbed my battery charger and hooked it up and charged the battery for 4 hours. Attempting to start the Silverado again resulted in the same thing - stone cold dead. I swapped the batteries to no avail. The vehicle still wasn't powering up. I looked for blown fuses, loose connectors, all with negative results. I had the truck towed to the dealer 106 miles away. The next day the dealer advised it started right up after a jump start. My reply was that is simply incorrect and I repeated the steps I went through. They replied they wished to keep it for a few days. Ultimately I had to trade the vehicle because the dealership stated the truck wasn't designed to operate in a dusty environment. My reply was that I bought it to use on my ranch and they knew that to begin with. They advised the dust permeated the body control module, engine control module, and human interface and today's trucks simply are designed for that.

2 Ignition Module problem of the 2007 Chevrolet Silverado

Failure Date: 06/02/2014

Noticed that cruise control did not work while driving. Took vehicle to auto shop to have problem fixed, was told brake lights remained on even when brakes were not being applied (did not remain on when ignition was off), had the brake light switch replaced and problem was fixed. A few months later, a fellow drive told me that my brake lights were staying on while driving and then I noticed that the cruise control was not working again. Took back to auto shop, was told that the brake light switch was ok. Took vehicle to gm dealership and was told that the body control module needs to be replaced. I did some research and noticed that gm had a recall in may 2014 for passenger cars with similar problems.

6 Ignition Module problem of the 1999 Chevrolet Silverado

Failure Date: 03/02/2003

I drive a 1999 Chevrolet Silverado. On a rainy day trying to do a stop the vehicle lost control luckily there was no other vehicles around. Later I learned that the anti-lock brake system was failing. I learned later that many people with the same vehicle have had many familiar incidents. I have not fixed the problem because gm charges an extremely high price and this is not covered by any type of insurance of warranty not even the dealers.
